Have you ever walked to the mirror and sat real close and looked deeply into your own eyes. Memorize all the creases and lines, the colors and shapes. Have you ever wondered how it is possible to walk through this life, all these years and not even know yourself. All those days glancing in the mirror on the way to work and never taking the chance to even really look at yourself, at who you have become.


It's things like this that make you wonder how many people in this world really know who they are. Have they had the chance to look at their kids and seen how they've grown? It begs the question, when was the last time you blew off work to be with family? To study them? To watch them play and see them smile?


Makes you wonder what you have been doing with your life huh?


What have you all been doing with your life? Have you all had the chance to look in the mirror? If you haven't, perhaps you should.

When I look in the mirror, I don't recognize who is looking back. Maybe I don't know who I am. I don't know. This I know. Your words made me think. Thank you, Crissy. Love and peace,

I think if people asked themselves the questions you have posted here more often, the world would be quite a different place. There is no time for life anymore, unless life entails making money or struggling just to get by. I think people stop looking at themselves for so long that when it occurs to them they should look again, they are afraid of what they might see. These are smart random thoughts you have.

Chrissy, I've looked in that mirror many times and sometimes I didn't like what I saw as I read my face. We have to know ourselves to even like ourselves and the same applies to our children. None of us take the time to truly get in tune with our hearts and minds. This is a great reminder to all readers.

Chrissy,
Powerful write. It makes the reader see themselves in a different light. We should all take time to 'smell the roses' and not take life for granted. Thanks for the reminder, Chrissy.

Many blessings,
~Linda

This write says it all and not much need of a comment, as to answer your question...I looked, really looked in the mirror when I awoke from my first heart operation and realized yea I will die some day.
